Anyway. In forcing myself to blog, there's a extra high chance of babbling :)
So 6th form! Is the massive change I guess. The big new thing that I keep getting asked about, or else is a pretty good conversation starter.
I've got the OMGoodness bit down. I knew I'd get to 6th form and realise my subjects could be a bad idea based on sheer potential workload, which I have. Just having been run through the syllabus for the year is enough to make me wonder if i'll handle it :)
But on the whole, its pretty easy to settle in. I've done two days, and have amazing teachers and classes. I have at least one good friend in every lesson, and genuinely havent got a teacher I don't like. At the moment, theres not much to do in frees other than to waste time, but wasting time is always better than actually doing something, so I wont complain.
But the FOOD man! OH yeah! Finally some decent food I don't have to spend twenty minutes queueing for :) Am well impressed with it, though I'll have to work out whats best to do, with how much of it I have :P
I love the subjects too, despite knowing they'll probably cripple me. English, i have really enthusiastic teachers who genuinely enjoy it, and proper chill out with our lessons :) We're doing The Road and Wuthering Heights. If it were my choice, I'd do something else, but hey, i'll probably love them by the end of the year :P Add in the fact I have Liam and Leila, and I'm sorted maaan :)
Pre U Psychology looks freakin amazing. Although they did overload my bag with the folder they decided to give me. But it looks great! And I'm intruiged that the book I bought a while ago and have only read a little bit of (The Lucifer Effect) is studied in my course. Sorted! :P PLUS I HAVE CLAIRE. Which makes any lesson amazing :P
Philosophy looks HARD,but really interesting. I've so far found the lessons a bit...lacking, but talking about it afterwards facinating. Not sure where that'll lead me, I just cant wait for an actual lesson which isnt introductory :) And I have Matt and Leila to keep me sane :)
And finally, euro history, I'm just beyond happy that I have Miss F, cause she was as excited as we were about it. The topics look less interesting, but I want to do russian history, which is next year, so i'll stick with it :) Plus I have Matt to sit next to, with Bunting and many others to make it even more awesome.
The thing that I really like about 6th form I think though, is the fact I've changed alot over the holidays, and it reflects in how I am in 6th form.
Three key differences in me :)
- I can be alone without freaking out. Yes, I do prefer to have someone with me to walk with or talk to, but thats to save me from getting lost or boredom more than anything else. I wont have a mini freak out if I have to walk from one place to another without anyone now. I guess thats more confidence in myself than anything else, which I'm completely making the most of.
- I don't have to fill the silences. If its a regular silence, I'm able to sit without getting uncomfortable. I will of course fill it with conversation if i have seomthing to say, but it doesnt bother me to the point I freak out like it used to :)
- I don't constantly panic about seeing certain people. I don't panic about seeing anyone now really, 'cause I don't care =P I've made my peace with the people who scared me to be near, and its their issue if they havent responded, not mine. I realised over the summer that I can be more like me, without horrific consequences, and have even made a friend or two out of it. Though I will go quiet around certain people, its about a third of the people it used to, and I usually relax after a while.
Anyways, this feels long enough for one blog. Until next time ;)
